Here comes the bride: nine stunning wedding gowns

This week on Style, we’ll be posting several pieces from Toronto Life’s first-ever Wedding Guide.

Finding the dream dress is arguably the most important part of planning a wedding. We’ve found nine stunning gowns (from $600 to $13,000) that will stand the test of time. View the slide show >>
